Birthdays

GRANDMA'S BIRTHDAY

Grandma had a birthday!!! Jay and I had a good time going to lunch with her for her birthday and then we all had dinner, cake, and ice cream with her later that evening! Crystal loves that Grandma's birthday is the same month as hers!! 

CRYSTAL'S BIRTHDAY
Crystal turned 9!!! She wanted a soccer birthday party. So naturally I transformed the backyard into a soccer field! the kids had fun playing games with the soccer ball (crab walk soccer was NOT a hit. haha). We gave her an early present so she could use them for her birthday party. We got her soccer goals! She also got a re-purposed fitbit... Ty replaced the band on my old broken one. Glad we didn't spend a lot on it because she accidentally got in the tub with it about 2 months later and though it still works, it will no longer charge rendering it useless. She's pretty devastated... there's always Christmas I guess... maybe a waterproof one this time. Haha. She also got a soccer ball and Hatchimal from Grandparents Gordon. On Sunday we had a birthday celebration with the Cook side because Aunt Brooke and Uncle Todd were in town! She got Legos from her Aunt and Uncle and a nice jacket and earrings from Grandparents Cook. Spoiled girl!!!
 I can't believe she will be in double digits next year! The time is going by far too quickly! She is such a sweet caring little girl. Love her!

Eastern Idaho State Fair

EASTERN IDAHO STATE FAIR

The first week in September is always busy and exciting with school starting and the state fair! We always go during the week to avoid the crowds which makes for tired kids who are still getting used to new school hours, but we always have a good time! We love the fun booths, the animals, turkey legs, and funnel cake!!!! 

Labor Day Weekend

SUNSET

CHUKARS GAME
We had box seats at the game over labor day weekend! And they had quite the firework show at the end of the game! So Fun!

THE PROPERTY
We went to the property after church on Sunday and stayed overnight. The kids and Ty even played in the lake! It was so fun watching them! They swam across the whole lake and Grandpa went and picked them up in the row boat so they wouldn't have to swim all the way back. We had fun catching frogs too! Lily probably lasted the longest searching for frogs. She just really wanted to get one! Haha. On the way home on Monday we stopped at Big Juds for a huge burger to share!
